Hearty Congratulations to All the splendid women of America, and especially the efficient committees of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania, who stood the storms of opposition and succeeded in amending the Constitution of the United States to give Women the Right to Vote For many long years past the old men, the rich men, the slackers, who never vote on a rainy day, have left the elections in the hands of the millions of young men of the cities, states and the nation. The Coming to the Front and Staying There of the Noble Women of Each State has brought on this day of a just and righteous freedom, which has dawned upon the United States. It ushers in the new era devoutly prayed for. It raises a golden Star of Hope in the sky, that means much to the world around, which has been laboring and fighting for a Golden Age to come to manhood and womanhood. May it not be that the wise men of the East will again follow the star and find in the United States the answer to their prayers? Great opportunities beckon ! The horizon enlarges itself to make room for enlarging souls bent upon the making of the new world, that Theodore Roosevelt preached about, fit For Every Man and Woman to Live In The serious and difficult questions yet to be settled by patient and hard thinking will be faithfully met and adjusted in time and experience. There are men still living who can be safely trusted as of the spirit and wisdom of the Fathers -of this Republic, who found a George Washington, as later the people found Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt in their needs. Are there not dangers ahead? Most assuredly there are, but not as great as the perils which we have lived through, when demagogues and corruptionists of political parties held sway at times since the revolutionary days. We are safer now than ever before and the better days are coming soon. Signed August 28, 10S0. QM 14 fv .,.
